Portugal boss Carlos Queiroz insists that new signing Raul Meireles will be an instant hit at Anfield.

The former Porto midfielder was unveiled as a Liverpool player ahead of the 1-0 win over West Brom and Queiroz feels he has all the attributes to be a success in L4.

"I think Raul Meireles is a fantastic player in the national team," said Queiroz.

"He's one of the pillars of the Portugal team. He's a great player and an excellent professional. He has all the conditions to be a success in English football at Liverpool.

"They have just signed the services of a player who stands out for his application, his professional dedication, his technical and footballing quality, and will be very successful for the Liverpool team.

"He's a box-to-box midfielder, he's hard-working, creative, is a good finisher, he's consistent, very solid, a great team player. He's a great person who is serious, he's a player who has a lot of capacity to communicate. He'll be a great reinforcement for the Liverpool team."
